I'm eager to see how it turns out after you get a replacement drive, good luck with the repair...
Stock OS plays just about everything, just dump it from a flashdrive. I have a lot of videos on mine that I put on that way. I had some music but use my Cube for that now.How will it be a media /server/? PS3 Linux got killed, and I don't think Netflix works on an older OS.
This is really the best route.you can probably use a TSOP flasher/downgrader and reflash the unit and take it back to 3.55 This will let you jailbreak/hack it and run linux plus some other stuff.
